Abstract

Cockroach and bug infestations, seniors calling out repeatedly for help, rotting food, COVID-19-infected patients put in the same room with those who are healthy, missed meals, seniors left in soiled diapers and linens – these are just some of the things Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel have seen while helping in five long-term care homes in Ontario The military, called in to help at some of Ontario's worst-hit long-term care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, confirmed what caregivers and family members of those in the homes have been saying for years: there is a crisis in how we care for our seniors © 2020, University Library System, University of Pittsburgh All rights reserved
